The pastor challenged us this week to tell our story of how we came to know Jesus, in 100 words or less. Even for a fairly simple story like mine, to squeeze it in 100 words is harder than one might think.
In exactly 100 words . . .
I accepted Christ when I was very young. I didn’t understand it all, but I knew I was wrong, God was right, and I needed Jesus. Throughout my childhood and teen years, I tried to live right and He kept me from evil. In college, as I grew in knowledge and independence, it became harder to live right. Then I figured out I couldn’t. No amount of my effort would be enough to make me right with God. That’s when I realized how much I needed Jesus. I didn’t have Him. He has me. How could I not love Him?
We overcome the ancient serpent by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Thanks for sharing.
